Half cheese half Mexican pizza
Ray G.

The pizza was very good. We came in, ordered a half cheese and half Mexican pizza. Took about 15 minutes and we were on our way home. The pizza is very good. We waited inside and watched as the family's grandma was shredding blocked cheese, the mom was fixing veggies, and the sons were operating the oven. Truly a family-owned place with fresh ingredients, you couldn't ask for more than that. Will be making this a regular option for pizza so long as they keep using fresh ingredients. And don't sleep on this Mexican pizza, it was very good.

Garlic chicken By The Slice
Tyra A.

Little hole in the wall pizzeria that has been around for decades. Wonderful, down-to-earth service. As I was eating, one of the guests had come in with an issue and I overheard the owner genuinely extend his concerns and fixed the problem. Ordered the 'By The Slice' garlic chicken pizza and boy did it satisfy my most intense of pizza hankerings. I mean everything I could ever want in a slice: crust that was crispy to the bite, quality-cheesiness, fresh tomatoes and onions, an abundance of chicken! Around $10 for a huge slice. That pizza did not stand a chance against me. I would even go as far to say that this place is better than spots in New York! Pizza Express, please don't ever change.

XL Half cheese half pepperoni
Sonia H.

This is my 6th visit at this small own business. I would just like to show appreciation for consistency of the taste of the pizza from this restaurant. My family and I will drive from Tennyson to Castro valley just for this pizza. We order simple pizza but the taste and dough is always a 10/10. They are super clean I always see the staff whom are making the pizzas constantly washing their hands and the store is clean inside. Support this small business if you're local in town you wouldn't be disappointed.

Large chicken tikka masala and cheese Breadsticks
Genevie I.

Ordered large Chicken Tikka Masala and cheese breadsticks for delivery. The food was delicious extremely fresh pizza and breadsticks. Hot on arrival not like other pizza places where it's warm by the time it gets to my home. The service was phenomenal the driver had amazing energy and vibe. Extremely pleasant customer service experience. Very nice man. I love that this place is family owned and has been around for years. I will be continue to order great pizza from this place. I strongly support this business and their amazing pizza. I strongly recommend! :)

Alright I've gotten delivery from this place a few times and it's been on point every time. Chewy crust, not too thick, good quality toppings, love the tomato basil sauce... and with a stuffed crust/stuffed dough option, sheesh. Great sizes and quality especially for the prices, and I love that you can get up to an 11 topping of your choice supreme option for any size they sell, and only for a couple bucks more than the 3/4 topping options (Also love that they put plenty of toppings on but also don't overload the pizza...I'm a firm believer that too much on top can ruin a good pizza). Only downers is getting cheese on it is technically considered a topping on the customs, and apparently there's a secret chicken tikka masala pizza you just cant get through ordering takeout or delivery on Yelp :P but the pizza is so good, and I understand not everyone wants cheese and has to pay for it anyway only to have to request to take it off; I just couldn't downgrade the rating for that with a straight face, that's just a personal preference. But dying to try the masala pizza.... Tried my first dessert here, the pizza cookie; half of it didn't make it from the door to the counter, crispy and gooey chocolate chip, this was just done so right. Easily my new favorite pizza delivery place around, cheese charge aside lol.

Hawaiian pizza with pepperoni and jalapeño
Lauryn L.

This is a great pizza joint! We ordered online and they had it ready in like 25ish minutes. It was so cheesy and tasty, not greasy at all. They have a good selection of soda at the front. Overall I will be coming back and trying their other pizzas :)

Burnt one side. 12" Medium 2 Toppings Pizza
Princess V.

Ordered through door dash on a Saturday night. They close at midnight so I was glad I was still able to order, cut off for online ordering is at 10:45pm. I always pass this place on redwood rd, it looks like a quaint pizza place. I was going to order papa John's but decided to give this place a try. The pizza arrived timely within 30 minutes which was impressive. We ordered 1 medium 2 topping pizza (pepperoni and jalapeño). First thing I noticed was the pizza box was not sealed, no seal at all, which is very uncommon nowadays with the popularity of delivery services especially with meal delivery. We indicated to add utensils and condiments on the order, when it arrived, there were no cheese or pepper packets. It's fine as I always keep some in stock at the house. Now the pizza was flavorful, plenty of cheese, but the toppings were not generous. I will show the expectation vs reality photo. They even burnt one side of the pizza. Hopefully it was just an off night because I really wanted to like this place. I'm willing to give them another chance and maybe order the garlic chicken pizza everyone is raving about.

The tenders look like they got smaller so you might as well get the four piece set with the cole slaw. The sauce they give you also feels small I wish they included more than one in each other, its not enough to dip the chicken and the fries in. Overall, they were nice. A lady came by and asked if we were doing okay which I appreciate as that doesn't happen often in fast food settings. Parking can get a little full and crazy at certain times but weekdays there were some spots. Overall solid food that came out crunchy and hot, but I wish the tenders weren't so small.

I went a few times when it first opened but was on the way to a concert recently when I figured I would stop here. I needed to use the restroom so I went inside to see about seven people behind the counter. The bathrooms were completely filthy and disgusting I didn't even want to eat. My friend was already waiting in line at the drive thru by the time I got back to the car. The guy with the piercings all over his face was extremely rude and didn't even get the correct order. By the time we left and opened the food there was multiple pieces of hair baked into my chicken. Both plates had hair all over the chicken and breading. Between the establishment being gross, the horrible customer service and the hair cooked into this food do not eat here. Save your money out go to in n out next door.

I called to see if there was anything they could do given the inconvenience, and the response was really disappointing. The guy on the phone just said the cook told him they had been tossed, even though the picture clearly shows otherwise. When I explained that I didn't want to drive another 20 minutes back just to have them re-tossed especially since they wouldn't be fresh by the time I got home again he said there was nothing he could do and even told me, "I don't know what you want me to do." The mistake itself was frustrating, but the lack of customer service was worse. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable, just some kind of effort to make the situation right.

Unfortunately, not all are the same but Castro Valley location hits the mark: friendly staff, efficient and food prepared fresh to order. I started visiting the Castro Valley location as my uncle is staying at a nearby care facility. I've placed orders at the counter and since I'm a regular (Uncle likes his pies, onion rings and chili) I downloaded the app to minimize the wait. Burgers and onion rings (there's an onion in there) are delicious and the pies hit the spot. Place is bright, clean, inviting with simple menu and clear view of those pies. I usually visit weekday lunch and Genesis and Victoria are always friendly and efficient. Overall, simple, fresh and delicious no-nonsense food. Plenty of free lot parking, indoor dining only. Everything made to order so expect a wait. Best to visit non peak hours. For to-go orders use the app - signing up gets you a free slice of pie (with entree) for your birthday!

We were surprised because at that point, there was only one other table and they had their food. Turns out they had a lot of to-go orders and were prioritizing those orders. I was surprised that we didn't get any update on our order but they also were not working on it. The food itself was not great. The best part was the eggs, but the bacon tasted like hotel bacon, while the hash browns were not crispy or tasty. The toast was not very good and even the orange juice tasted like the fridge. The inside of the restaurant was really cold and had a sterile environment. It was not a great environment and the time that it took to get the food really made it that much worse. We will not be returning to this place -- we would much rather support a small local eatery for brunch instead of coming here without much personalized service or care.
